ABB Unveils AMXE Marine Motor: A Powerful Leap Towards Sustainable Seafaring
AutoControl GlobalAutoControl Global June 04, 2025Sailing into a Greener Future: ABB's Groundbreaking AMXE Marine Motor
The shipping industry is poised at the onset of a profound change, grounded on a global demand for sustainability and more efficiency. With this in mind, ABB is proud to present its groundbreaking AMXE Marine Motor. This is not just another solution for electric drives; it's a testament to engineering might, made specifically to face the harsh environment of the open seas. Imagine a motor that resists the relentless assault of corrosive sea salt and the monstrous force of oceanic currents on a day-to-day basis – that's the AMXE.
Power, Precision, and Unbreakable Durability
Duplicated with absolute care and attention to detail, the AMXE Marine Motor is poised to revolutionize propulsion for small to mid-sized electric and hybrid boats, as well as open deck applications. What makes it truly outstanding is its remarkable blend of durability, high-performance, and remarkable installation flexibility, all in an incredibly compact package.
In an age where every cubic meter and kilogram counts, this motor stands head and shoulders above. It boasts the highest power density in ABB's full line of motors, providing more power in less weight and space. Its high strength is also intended to combat the harsh marine environment with superior corrosion, shock, and vibration protection, and its exclusive insulation design ensures unmatched reliability.
Quiet Efficiency and Smooth Integration
Apart from its sheer power and toughness, the AMXE Marine Motor brings an element of serenity to seafaring activity. Its revolutionary water-cooled technology negates the necessity for clunky ventilation systems, literally slicing noise and vibration in half. The result? A gliding, more peaceful experience for everyone aboard.
And to cap it all, ABB recognizes that every ship is unique. It is this that the AMXE Marine Motor is so flexible, with easy integration into a vast array of small vessels and still meeting ABB's high standards of efficiency and reliability. Even its compact footprint and smart terminal box make it simpler to install, whether out of sight inside an engine room or in plain view on an open deck. And with ABB's great worldwide reach of capabilities and dedicated local experts, help is always available, ensuring quick and responsive service for the entire life of the motor.
Leading the Way to a Green World
The timing of the AMXE Marine Motor launch couldn't be more fortuitous. World maritime trade is projected to triple by 2050, placing great pressure on the industry to greatly reduce its carbon footprint. With the International Maritime Organization (IMO) setting a net-zero greenhouse gas target by 2050, ABB's options like the AMXE Marine Motor not only make good business sense, they're essential.
By offering a high-performance, low-emission alternative to conventional propulsion systems, ABB is helping shipbuilders and operators become more productive, efficient, and ultimately more sustainable. This revolutionary motor will be showcasing at this year's Nor-Shipping trade fair, in addition to ABB's HES880 Mobile Inverter, which has already made waves in marine application.
